As an adult, Mr. Noots became a founder and CEO of multiple companies and realized that his biggest limit – the difference in his success or failure – came down to his brain.
Mr. Noots became the greatest plant extractor in the world. He wanted perfection. So, he did thousands of experiments, data collection, and optimization to open up the portals to what we call the “Zamner Zone” – legendary levels of greatness. This included development of revolutionary, proprietary extraction technologies that were able to pull out the most bioactive components of the safest, most well-researched brain nutrients…
And deliver effects that are multiple times more potent than off-the-shelf ingredients.
